Camera!
Life, Photography 04/15/2004 |I’ve got a camera!
Okay…it’s a loaner, not my own, but what a loaner! Rick got ahold of me yesterday morning via IM and mentioned that since he wasn’t using his camera often at all, he wouldn’t have a problem loaning it to me so that I’d have something to use while I saved for one of my own. I certainly wasn’t going to turn down that offer, and he brought it over tonight after I got home from work.
It’s a few years old, but not bad in the least (it sold for $1300 when it came out) — an Olympus C-2500L 2.5 megapixel DSLR, and from the reviews (Steve’s Digicams, Digital Camera Resource Page, DPReview, Imaging Resource), appears to be a very well-regarded camera.
Rick said I can use it for as long as I need to while I’m saving up for one of my own, so while I dig myself out of my financial woes and decide which way to go on replacing the camera I lost, I can at least keep indulging my shutterbug tendencies. Rock on!

Way to go Rick! Just in case your interested the camera Rick loaned you is my old camera. It broke and I sent it back to Oylmpus to get it fixed and bought the new Minolta Dimage7i. I kept it around for a spare camera and sold it to Rick. I have accessories for the camera that your more than welcome to use as well.
I have a hot shoe flash with a swivel head. An electronic remote control. The camera manual. The Flash manual And some where around here is a digital wallet for the camera. The wallet is (guessing) a portable hard drive and you can load 99 of the flash cards on to the wallet. I also have the 110v AC adaptor for the camera.
Rick didn’t use or need these items but if you think you might, just let me know and we can connect this weekend.
I like my Dimage very much but also have fond memories of the Olympus and I took many great pictures with it.I’m sure it will do you well.

Ooooooohhhhhhh…very cool! I’d noticed in the reviews that there was a remote for it, but Rick thought that it had been lost in the move — and when borrowing a camera, I certainly wasn’t going to complain. If I can borrow those toys too, that’d be great! I may give you a call sometime this weekend to see if I can swing by, if that’d be cool.
Thanks much!

This is a very Mom-like statement: Keep track of this one, Kiddo!

(laughs) Oh, no kidding — I’m paranoid about leaving my bag behind now, and I’m constantly double-checking everything. Once was more than enough for me!
